Argumentative essays, also known as academic essays, are documents that have the purpose of exposing a specific topic so that it can be explained, argumented and supported by fact and verifiable data. It uses only academic language and one of its main characteristics is the use of only provable information, and not personal opinion, about the topic being exposed. As part of this type of essay, an introduction with the thesis statement (which is the claim that is being made and that will be supported throughout the essay) is created and followed by it, we have the body paragraphs, which in essence are the backbone of the essay, as they will argument different points that connect with the thesis statement to support it. Each body paragraph needs to have three parts: a main topic (controlling idea), which derives from the thesis statement, but it is only a portion of it, an illustration, which is basically the arguments and counterarguments, with added data, that explain the controlling idea and start resolving the issue of the thesis statement, and finally, an explanation with a conclusion, that further eplains the controlling idea, ties lose ends and supports and connects the claim to the thesis statement. This is why the correct answer here is B: A strong reason, counterarguments, and a concluding statement that supports the claim.

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…
